Parents

Parents Commitment

OUR MISSION:

The purpose of Olds Koinonia Christian School is to assist the Christian family in co-operation with the local church in training their children intellectually, physically, socially and spiritually toward maturity and responsible independence.

Rationale:  The effectiveness of the school will be strongly influenced by the dedication and spiritual maturity of the parents whose children are enrolled.  It is therefore essential that a certain level of commitment be given by each parent before enrolling their children.

Policy: At least one parent must agree with all thirteen of the following points. A spouse who cannot support all thirteen points must at least agree with and be supportive of points six through thirteen.

1. I HAVE received the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour.

2. I AM committed to active involvement in a local church.
